“The fire alarm was going off in the house that got hit and when my partner told them about the alarm, the person on the phone decided to tell her that it would ‘only be the house alarm’.”

The dad claims that police refused to come out and deal with the situation and catch the lads.

He added: “What if there were kids in that room, or if someone got severely hurt because of it?

“What will it take for the police to do something about the kids on the streets and the trouble they cause? A death?”

Cleveland Police confirmed that the incident was reported to them at 11.25pm on Tuesday night.

A spokesperson said: “Police received a report of criminal damage in that a firework had been thrown through the open window of a house on Stranton Street in Thornaby on the evening of Tuesday, July 24.

“The reporting person did not believe that anyone was inside the property at the time of the incident and said that a house alarm was sounding.
